  1. Interesting tidbit from Changing Skyline today:

    "Wraps are just like parking lots. Many Philadelphians would be surprised to learn that Center City's surface lots are allowed only a five-year life span. But since there is no limit on renewals, some "temporary" lots have been earning a tidy income for more than half a century."

  2. Yeah, I saw that. She's wrong about the origin of the building.. it was a warehouse for the Continental Distilling Company, not Penn Railroad.
